Some testimony from Madeline Kingsbury’s friends, family barred from Fravel murder trial

Trial in Winona woman’s slaying is scheduled to begin Monday, Oct. 7, in Mankato.

www.twincities.com

Buytendorp ruled that Kingsbury’s friend Lauren Dubois will not be allowed to testify about what Kingsbury told her in March 2023 at Mayo Clinic. Dubois told investigators that Kingsbury told her if something happened to her or her children, “It was Adam.”

Testimony from Kingsbury’s father’s wife, Catherine, about Kingsbury telling her that Kingsbury’s daughter had seen too much will also not be allowed during the trial. Testimony from witnesses about Fravel having access to Kingsbury’s phone also will not reach the jury.

Madeline Kingsbury case: What to know about the trial of Adam Fravel

The trial of Adam Fravel, who is accused of murdering Madeline Kingsbury in June 2023, is set to begin with jury selection in Blue Earth County - an event that is likely to draw widespread attention from both southern Minnesota communities and media outlets.

www.fox9.com

FOX 9's request to be able to have a camera in the courtroom during Fravel's trial was denied in September by Judge Buytendorp.

• The request was denied because Madeline's family wanted privacy during the trial.
• The order also stated that the court would allow the media courtroom access and/or setting up a media room at the courthouse with ITV to view the trial.
• If the family changes their position and does ask for camera coverage, the court will evaluate the camera requests and make a decision.

 

[Knox]

I have no doubt Fravel will be found guilty, none at all.

This is the final painful step towards closure for her family, so they can move forward without thier beloved Maddie and raise her two beautiful children.

Adam who? He can’t go away soon enough!

 

[PommyMommy]

Today marks Day 1 of the trial for Adam Fravel, a Winona man accused of killing Madeline Kingsbury.

Last week, Kingsbury’s family explained that they will be sequestered throughout the trial.

Jury selection is estimated to take 3-4 days. The trial itself may take a month.

The first juror is a middle-aged mother with no prior knowledge of the case.

Where does the line stand regarding no prior knowledge. I don't know how media coverage works in the USA, but in Aus this type of case would have made headlines across the country, soost people would of heard about it
